It’s that time of year again: October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. At the very least, it serves as an annual reminder to check your security posture, both at work and at home.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digitalization plans for global organizations by three years, while the adoption rate for digitized products and services increased by seven years.
Security is the biggest threat facing organizations that strive for faster software delivery. Organizations are witnessing increasing attacks due to application code gaps and security weaknesses. According to a Forrester report, software security flaws accounted for cyberattacks in about 47% of organizations.
When it comes to building secure cloud-native applications, the baseline is choosing a secure container image. Docker defines a container as “a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies, so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another.” The problem is, they’re often a pain point for many developers.
Snyk, the leader in developer security, is excited to share that we’ve been named a Customers’ Choice in the 2022 Gartner Peer Insights ‘Voice of the Customer’: Application Security Testing.

It’s 2022 and as we all know, the world is a very different place. However, one thing that has not changed is the importance of cybersecurity. In fact, it’s more important now than ever before, as the SolarWinds hack and Executive Order prove. That’s why for Cybersecurity Awareness Month this year, we asked cybersecurity pioneers and leaders to get their insights on staying cyber safe. Here are their thoughts on CISA’s 4 Things You Can Do to See Yourself in Cyber.
We’ve been watching the global transition to an app-driven world for some time now, as companies develop and deploy innovative software at warp speed. And we’ve also watched application security teams struggle to keep up. Many try to use yesterday’s tools for today’s AppSec reality, while others wrestle with immature application security programs. And that’s when we realized: modern application security programs are different. They run on CODEfidence. Let me explain.
The reason organizations are embracing cloud-native development is clear: AWS reports those who migrated saw an average of 20% infrastructure cost savings and 66% increase in administrator productivity. Moving your development process to the cloud offers these benefits and many others, but it also offers a whole new set of security challenges. This series is aimed at helping developers create secure infrastructure for modern, cloud-native applications.
